New Firmware released RAX80 1.0.1.62
Just did a check for new firmware on 7/16/2019 and I was notified 1.0.1.62 was available. I just upgraded. There was no updated release notes - they were the same for upgrading to 1.0.1.58 which is a version I skipped. I upgraded from 1.0.1.56.

Upgraded to 1.0.1.58 and it is reasonably stable with a few glitches requiring a reboot every couple of weeks.
See that Nighthawk app says .62 is available but I see no refernce on the netgear suppport site and no release notes. Will wait for more info. Anyone monitoring this community have more info?
One bug carried over from 1.0.1.58 is LAN (ethernet) devices still disconnect & reconnect periodically.
WAN disconnections / reconnections still occurring with 1.0.1.62 just less frequently compared to 1.0.1.58
The problem still exists, no matter whether it is restarted with 192.168.1.1 or www.routerlogin.net for half an hour, the router cannot be accessed.
Even if you use the mobile app Nighthawk can't access the router. You can access the router first by manually restarting it, but you can't access the router again after half an hour. I don't know what the problem is?
It is normal to downgrade to 1.0.1.56.Now has a download page https://kb.netgear.com/000061097/RAX80-Firmware-Version-1-0-1-62
Bug Fixes:
- If the device name on Attached Devices page was changed, rebooting the router restored the device name back to the default name.
- If the router’s GUI language was set to Chinese, the language changed back to English after the configuration file was restored.
- The success page displayed a "Page not found" message if a non-English browser was used.
- Fixes minor bugs.
- Fixes security issues.
My one lets you access the web interface okay but I would like to be able to change the QOS device level Low/Medium/High and also suprised you have to keep refreshing the device page to monitor changing traffic levels. Web interface seems very primitive for such a pricy box.
Completely inaccessible to the router
I am too on the new 1.0.1.62 and have had this router online for a week now with no issues. Just today I have to log into my router to change a QOS setting but could not get the router to respond to let me into the GUI. I could not get to it via web browser or the app.
I rebooted and was fine after that. Even though this happend the ineternet and devices connected still had solid connections
